Hi @saheen_palayi , It depends on what exactly you want to do with the FPGA kit. and don't have much experience with FPGA, but I can help you Lattice iCEstick Evaluation Kit to get started.
Lattice iCEstick Evaluation Kit
It's available at fablab Kochi and Trivandrum if you want to try it out without buying.Features
The iCEstick Evaluation Kit includes:
• iCEstick Evaluation Board – features the following on-board components
– High-performance, low-power iCE40HX1K FPGA
– FTDI 2232H USB device allows iCE device programming and UART interface to a PC
– Vishay TFDU4101 IrDA transceiver
– Five user LEDs
– 2 x 6 position Diligent PmodTM compatible connector enables many other peripheral connections
– Discera 12Mhz MEMS oscillator
– Micron 32Mbit N25Q32 SPI flash
– Supported by Lattice iCEcube2
design software
– USB connector provides the power supply
– 16 LVCMOS/LVTTL (3.3V) digital I/O connections on 0.1” through-hole connections
• Pre-loaded demo design – the kit includes the pre-loaded demo design that flashes the on-board LEDs in a
clockwise pattern.
• USB connector – provides communication and debug port via a USB-to-RS-232 physical channel and programming interface to the PC.resources :

In this second edition of MakerCuriosity Podcast Series by MakerGram, we are discussing programming Microcontrollers using Python.
The discussion includes how exactly an interpreted language works on a Microcontroller?! Besides that, we have covered the pros and cons and when it is preferred to use Python on Microcontrollers when 95% of existing embedded code is written using either C or C++. Listen now and let us know your feedback and opinion!
Stay tuned till we meet with another exciting topic on next week!

Hi all,
I recently came across this post where they have shown photos printed on PCB in high resolution. I would like to know how to add this kind of photos to the silkscreen layers of the PCB in Eagle/Altium.
Adding such kind of photos will be attractive for beginners and also can be used for educational purposes too.
Please let me know in case anybody knows. -

The license of the https://dl.espressif.com/dl/package_esp32_index.json might be expired(If this is the reason you can't do anything but just wait until they re-activate the license)
If the page liecenceIt's good.

@abdultechguy999 usually https://dl.espressif.com/dl/package_esp32_index.json this works while installing through boards manager. But I faced the same issue some times. it might be due to a couple of reasons.
Bad Internet connectivity
The license of the https://dl.espressif.com/dl/package_esp32_index.json might be expired(If this is the reason you can't do anything but just wait until they re-activate the license)
I remember there is a way to install the board files offline by downloading from some github repos.
All the best.

Ok, then you need to check the LM2596 output current and voltage!
